By Way of Jamaica
Hi my name is Cecille..
A small Island girl whom has grown into a woman who knows
struggles. Growing up we didn't have much but whatever it is that we
had, we made it work and didn't complain.. I come from a strong
praying family who believes in God..
I migrated to New York from Jamaica in year 2000 (my how time flies).
I have found that in this country it is very hard just as when I was
growing up in Jamaica, but with the teaching from my family of prayer
and perseverance I had no room for giving up I furthered my
education, raised my daughter whom makes me proud each and
everyday with her personal strides and accomplishments along with
raising of her daughter.
I am now working as a manager for a black owned company where I
grew as a person and my confidence and self assurance exudes
levels that I cannot even explain, Within my daily task of managing I
also get to do what I love most which is baking, where I can put my heart
and soul into my recipes. There is no better job to show up to than one
that you truly feel appreciated.
There were times I wanted to give up because the struggle was very
real but I never lost my faith in God and never lost faith in who I am or
the strong family base that I came from.. Hard work does pay off and as
women we must stick together and help each other to become
successful in whatever venture we choose partake in...
Live, Laugh, pray and Love..
Cecille Edwards
